Riverchase United Methodist Market runs out of the church's grounds on Old Montgomery Highway on Thursdays during the growing season.

One day a week is all this Main Street market needs, Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with tables of baked goods, eggs, vegetables, honey, jams, plants, and soap. It's a smaller operation than the Birmingham-area markets nearby, and shoppers online have rated it 4.4 stars.

Pinson Fresh Market, the current name for what's listed here as Pinson Farmers Market, runs Fridays from 2 to 6 p.m., late April through late October, on Center Point Road.

Alabaster

Alabaster Farmers' Market runs Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon in the yard of the Alabaster Senior Center on 7th Street SW.

Reach the city at (205) 664-6800.
